Special Cable Dispatch to The EVENING STAR
LONDON, May 1S.-The proceedings yesterday in
the house OF commons opened with some sparring
between members, which at one time threatened
to develop into a storm, and closed with debate
on one OF the most important amendments yet
submitted TO the committee on the coercion bill
Gladstone was called on by the attorney-general
to clear himself OF the sin OF having held him up
TO derisfon as a person who would speak OF crim-
1nal burglary or criminal murder. As Gladstone's
denial evidently did not satisfy Webster Lord
Harcourt rose and confessed himself the guilty
person.
NOTABLE INCIDENT OF THE SITTING
occurred In the course OF Websters reply to Clad
stone. Without thought OF the bearing of the OBJ
Servation upon another controversy the attorney
general remarked that he could imagine cases in
which there had been conspiracies for the purpose
OF hbel1ng individuals. Instantly the Parnellite
party gave point to the observation by loud
cheers which drew from Webster the observation
that he had no sympathy with conspiracies for
libeling individuals. Harcourt's amendment,
which occupied the committee for nearly six
hours In the best part OF the night, was admirably
calculated TO test the sincerity of the government
1t was directed TO combining the bill TO cognizance
OF acts which at present regarded as criminal.
Harcour observed II the government would an
nounce unmiStakaby that the bill would be lim-
TIED to cases OF murder, arson, 'moonlighting,"
cattle manning, and the like, they
WOULD FIND THEMSELVES MAKING MUCH QUICKER
PROGRESS
with their measure Criminal law he maintained,
might not be used to aid the enforcement OF
civil contract He contended that combinations
OF Irish tenants with reference to the tenure OF
land ought to be put In the same category as the
combinations OF English laborerS with regard
10 their wages. Balf0ur answered that the gov
ernment meant TO contne the operation OF the bill
strictly to cOnSpiracieS which under the present
law were criminal and 1ndctabe. A combination
OF tenants to get their land at ID shilings instead
or 81 per acre, was not criminal conspiracy, but
on the other hand he emphatically declared II the
committee were to exclude boycotting from the
scope OF the bill he would not think IL worth going
on with. Gladstone enjeavored to discover what
the government meant by boycotting, but the at
torney general answered vaguely that IL was i'm
possible TO define beforehand what might be the
acts which would constitute criminal conspiracy.

was concerned, was not repealed by subsequent

The Queer Story Which a Cattle Man
TELLS About the Great Swan Eailure.

The Queer Story Which a Cattle Man
Tells About the Great Swan Failure.
OMAHA, NEB., May 1S.-A somewhat sensational
account OF the recent failure OF A. W. Swan, the
Wyoming cattle king was given by prominent
cattle man in this city last night. 1t is to the ef
feet that Mr.. Swan was made the victim OF a gi-
gantc confidence game, whereby he lost $500 900 at
one sweep. Not long since Mr. Swan and a mum.
Der OF the leading Western cattle men formed a
partnership for the purpose Of buying cattle for
foreign shipment. Mr.. Swan had made arrange
ments with rich Scotch syndicate, which was to
buy the cattle at a handsome advance above their
value in the American market. After about
81, ,OOO, 900 worth OF cattle had been bought the
deal for some reason fell through. Mr.. swan went
TO New York in the hope or making some other ar
rangement for the disposal OF the cattle. While
there he received a cablegram purporting to be
signed by the agent OF the Scotch syndicate Offer
ing him large advance beyond the price at which
the cattle had originally been contracted for. Mr.
Swan at once cabled his acceptance OF the Offer
He then telegraphed TO his partners, Offering them
the price which was originally to be paid by the
syndicate. They accepted the proposition and all
the cattle came into his possession. Then he noti-
fed the syndicate that he was ready deliver the
cattle at the price offered by their agent and re-
ceived reply saying that they had made no such
offer, and knew nothing OF the existence OF the
agent named. Diigent search failed TO reveal his
whereabouts, and Mr.. Swan was obliged to dispose
OF the cattle at heavy loss.

A TALK WITH MIR. MANNING.
He Thinks Cleyeland's denomination
will be Forced by the South and West.

A correspondent of the New York World found
ex-Secretary Manning much improved in health
at Bournemouth, Eng, yesterday. Mr.. Mannings
lung trouble is entirely gone, his complexion is
good the expression OF his eyes is bright, and the
hesitancy OF speech is gone. Mr.. Manning ex-
poets to return to New York within short time.
He will probably sail somewhere about the 1st OF
June. Regarding the reports that he had quit
ted the Cabinet, dissatisfied with the President,
Mr. Manning said he had no reason to complain
of the President, who had treated him with in
variable kindness. He thought he had had enough
OF politics, but was not sure about being able TO
keep out OF the next campaign.
THE PRESIDENT WAS TIRED THAT DAY.
Regarding the reports OF Senator Vests talk
with the President, in which the latter is said to
have declared his intention not to be a candidate
for ELECTION, Mr.. Manning said: 81 dare say the
Senator talked with the President on some day
when he was particularly fattgued and halrassed
with the burden OF his duties 1 have heard him
myself express the desire to get out OF 1t all But
this was In fit OF WEAKNESS which is common
duties of public life at Washington"
When asked If he thought the President would
not answer directly, but intimated that while
there was an anti-CIeveland element In New York
that State would be compelled to accept Cleveland
by the west and South, which sections wanted
Cleveland "because they can win with him." Mr..
Manning intimated that New York would find it
better policy to support Cleveland from the begin
ming than go into the convention with divided
delegation, and have him "crowded down our
throats by outside delegations" Mr. Manning
thought that the strength OF this Administrator
was largely due to the confidence it had given to
the business elements OF the country. Taxes
would have been reduced II the Administration
policy had been carried out. He himself
had gone out of his way TO call the attention
OF Congress to the need Of reducing the taxes
In discussing the coming Presidential year Mr.
Manning dwelt upon the necessity OF great har-
mOny and on the importance OF Congress doing
something next winter to reduce taxes. He said
certain quantity. The vote In the mayoralty con-
test of New York showed that IL there should be
national labor convention next year which should
nominate Henry George for the Presidency 1t
might make several states doubtful. Where States
have been carried by narrow maJOr1tteS any such
ters He had faith, however, that the record
of this Administration will secure strength enough
from the business men OF both parties to warrant
its reelection.
